By only one vote. a 5to4 decision. overruling a 5to4 decision. the Court tarnished the citizenship of every U.S. citizen. The granting of citizenship. and its regulation. is a constitutional function of the Congress. If ever citizenship is to be rescinded. some entity must establish the regulation for such expatriation. Other individual citizens cannot exercise this power. The Congress. as the collective representative of the people is. and should be. the rightful branch of government to make this decision. Expatriation. as well as naturalization. is the function of the Congress. The Court defended its 5to4 decision by bemoaning that expatriation can leave a person stateless. Untrue.
